Ben Shapiro on The Bill Maher Show - Critical Race Theory Debate Aug 19, 2021

Show notes

In a debate on Critical Race Theory held on The Bill Maher Show, Ben Shapiro, and Malcom Nance give their definitions of CRT. We see how those who support CRT choose to debate and the commentary provides insights into how CRT plays out today.

Is there objective truth or just lived experience? Is Critical Race Theory taught in our schools? Is the objective of CRT equality of opportunity or forced equity of results?

Covid Vaccination, President Nelson and The Church Aug 15, 2021

Show notes

New messaging from the First Presidency on getting vaccinated. Why are members so split on this? What is the political reasoning? Why might it get worse? This episode provides data, reasoning, and opinion on the Covid vaccinations. Global governments and Health Agencies have a specific goal for a specific percentage of those vaccinated. This causes a battle between societal needs and individual liberty. Also, why I got vaccinated.

Royal Procession, Cwic Interpreter - Provo Presentation Aug 13, 2021

Show notes

Audio could be better.

Jesus' entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday is usually called the Triumphal Entry. This hides what is happening. Jesus rides in through the east gate of Jerusalem on a donkey just as King Solomon did at his coronation. This is a Royal Procession to the temple. As a pervasive cultural event, it is also used as a metaphor in scripture for the Aaronic and Melchizedek Priesthoods as in "prepare ye the way" and the Second Coming of Christ as just a couple of examples.

Creation, Eve & The Garden of Eden - Provo Presentation Aug 12, 2021

Show notes

The Creation and Garden of Eden Dramas may not be what many think them to be. This presentation provides insight into viewing these narratives as visions and dramas as given to Moses and Abraham.

Eve is both righteous and beguiled. "Death" represents judgment, with perhaps more emphasis than physical death. Cherubim represents judgment. Lehi's Dream is the second half of the chiasmus, "Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they may have joy" finishing the story of the Garden of Eden.

Come Follow Me LDS - Doctrine and Covenants 88 Aug 11, 2021

Show notes

Doctrine and Covenants 88 is a gargantuan revelation. We set the stage with Joseph Smith and Sections 86 & 87 for the reception of "The Olive Leaf". The Section starts out with the title, "Lord of Sabaoth." We cover this and talk about the Deuteronimists in Jerusalem at the time of Lehi. One thing to notice in this section is its framing of hierarchy through the Sun, Moon, Stars, and the Earth. It is very, very, similar to that often talked about chapter 3 in the Book of Abraham. You know, the one with "Kolob." We cover that.

BYU - "Immerse Boys In Princess Culture!" Aug 04, 2021

Show notes

"School of Family Life Canceling Gender"

New study from Assistant Director Sarah Coyne recommends that young boys, from pre-school age, be immersed in Princess Culture to reduce their toxic masculinity. The study also vilifies older Disney princess movies for displaying "feminine" traits such as "nurturing."

An article placed on the BYU website shows focuses on a young boy holding several princess dolls, wearing flowered pajamas, and reading pink princess books.

Brown Nephites & White Lamanites? Skin Color In The Book of Mormon Aug 02, 2021

Show notes

When the Book of Mormon speaks of skin color, is it literal or a metaphor? Ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians used skin color as a metaphor. Jeremiah and Daniel, contemporaries of Lehi and Nephi, used skin color as a metaphor. Could the Lamanites and the Nephites have had the same skin color while using black and white, dark and fair as a metaphor to distinguish between righteous and wicked, industrious and idle? It looks that way.

Come Follow Me LDS - Doctrine and Covenants 84 Jul 30, 2021

Show notes

"The Higher and the Lower Priesthoods"

Section 84 gives us one of the best examples of The Higher and Lower Laws. Each of the Melchizedek and Aaronic Priesthoods is necessary as they represent "Heaven and Earth". We explore the themes of the temple, Zion, the Last Days and bring them into context with the prophets Jeremiah, Daniel and Jesus as well.

Race and The Restored Church in South Africa Jul 23, 2021

Show notes

A Panel Discussion

Several South African Latter-day Saints talk bout race, apartheid and the Restored Church. How is the Church viewed? Is it a "white" Church? What does this mean when there are so many more black members? Why is representation so important?

Eavesdrop on a Zoom meeting with Greg and his South African friends discussing these topics.

Come Follow Me LDS - Doctrine and Covenants 81-83 Jul 21, 2021

Show notes

In these Sections we get several of the tenets of building Zion. The "Platinum Rule" is outlined, the Doctrine of Christ from Isaiah's Suffering Servant, bearing each others' burdens and caring for the poor. The Lord continually shows us that for Zion there is no force equity nor is there merit without mercy or grace.
